Former Marine Daniel Penny faces trial for the death of a homeless man, Jordan Neely, allegedly choked on a subway.

Daniel Penny, a former Marine, is on trial for second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide after allegedly choking Jordan Neely, a homeless man and Michael Jackson impersonator, to death on a New York City subway. Prosecutors argue Penny's actions were reckless, while his defense highlights his character and military service, suggesting he was protecting others. The medical examiner concluded Neely died from the chokehold, but Penny's lawyers question this. The trial has sparked debates about mental health, homelessness, and vigilantism in New York.
